1. Safe wake
2. Prep for the Prisons. Ms Tee sent a text she would be here @ 11:35am but came at 11:45am denying me of the opportunity to eat breakfast of planned boiled eggs.
3. Expressed my frustration to her in a nice way when she arrived for me: Note that she is NOT obligated to pick me but doing me a favor. Be respectful of her generous offer. Thank You for letting me see it in another direction: Solution: Sleep and wake up on the right time to have enough time to prepare.
4. Safe ride to the Center with the new bag.
5. Organized and picked the drums as she drove to another assignment.
6. Red Bag and a Conga in Ms Tee, Black in Ms Marcia, 2 Congas in Keith's. Ms. Marcia asked me to leave the Green Army bag at the Equipment room but did not hear the instruction well. Humoric expression of divorce and laughter. Isaac, a PVAC graduant also messed up an instruction from Ms Marcia giving me respite. Queen Esther travels in Ms Marcia's car.
7. Safe ride to FMWCC,
8. Smooth Entry formalities following the addition of a bag. Officer questions the addition of extra conga, Explanation giving,
9. Safe escort of HTF staff to the Gym. Unusual lateness by the Inmates.
10. Inmates arrived later, Ms Tee's friendly Akwaaba hugs attracted note taking by Office. Everything arranged in the middle. Pre-Instruction drumming. Queen plays the 6.8 beats and I gave them a 3 way treats on some of the Center's Dance Class rhythms. Ms Marcia starts the warm ups. Queen follows with Inspirational Messages- Get rid of Troubles and Build your confidence. Transitioned with my 5 and 10 Greetings, then introduced the other side of Queen by letting us Play the 6.8 beats. She also dances. Wild cheers after that. Instruction on Stagecraft techniques and practice of beats:
Roll 3x- Normal, Bass and Finger
Kilunada- Roll and Freeze
Slowly down and roll
Umoufia Kweenu
Roll
Main Beats-4 T, 4 B.
New Officer observed writing notes, Ms. Tee's Akwaaba friendly challenged as being of security concern. They doing their job so we have to respect it.
Blaze not feeling well so I used the opportunity to end my Instruction after 20 minutes. Keith drew my attention but I told him that is what Ms. Marcia had suggested that we all use the available time. His class was nice, did not pay too much attention to absorb anything though. Ms. Tee wanted to teach them the Fanga Alafia song but I suggested that she distributes the fliers and teach them next week under my watch.
Closing engagement and reflections by Mama Toland and Ms Marcia about new development about no hugging and 30 inches distant rules. Tall Officer in shades intimidating pose..was it necessary?
Post instruction exit formalities and discussion outside.
Ms. Marcia compensate every instructor for the day.
11. Post FMWCC trip to WDCC in Ms Tee's car. Safe drive. Made a U turn on the way at Thai 5 dollar meal on Dessert Inn but the 10 minutes wait was a turn off since I was running late.
12. Safe arrival, asked Ms Tee if she was also being compensated for the prison's program and she said Yes. I gave her 10 dollars from my compensation of 50 dollars for the day anyways.
13. Successful sign in and Class. Mike and the James I and II around plus 2 New guests.
Agbadza bell pattern plus other stuff. Mike asked if I received the audio and video files. Promised to look for them. Class very successful.
14. Post Class drive to Sunset Casino to meet friend. Also visited the Feast and spent 13 on meals and 2 dollar tip. Food interesting today. 2 Stir Fry- Chinese and Italian Shrimps, Rice and Thai, Biscuits, Greens, BBQ Chicken, Small Beef, BBQ Pork ( ate only one), ( See Photos)
15. Late departure from Casino. Safe walk to the bus stop but noticed that I would need to wait half hour or 54 minutes so walked safely to Reginald. Crossed the road safely to the 212 side but changed plans when I saw 115. Waited for about 10 minutes for its arrival. Rode it to Tropicana and waited for a while since there was an accident. Later got off at Sam's Club Boulder Highway stop.
16. Safe walk to the bus stop and waited for 10 minutes. Text message from Mohammad that he is in town so any TSC program, he is available.
17. Safe ride on BHX to the ride. Teenagers on the bus almost wanting to fight. Intervention by some adults.
18. Waited at the BTC station for a while and then later leaving on 214. Arrival at 11:54pm.
